Chest Counter 2.4.0

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.x, Chest Counter updates itself.

What's new

• Overlay: the estimated total and your last match over the game, only while Fortnite runs, in fullscreen or windowed mode. Clicks go through it. Turn it on with the Overlay button at the top right. Ctrl+Shift+O hides or shows it; Move or Ctrl+Shift+L lets you drag it somewhere else.
• Page for OBS: in Settings, turn it on and copy the address into a Browser source in OBS. The page is transparent and only reachable from your own PC.
• Open with Fortnite: in Settings. Chest Counter waits quietly when Windows starts and opens by the clock when Fortnite starts. Uninstalling removes it.
• Closing the window keeps Chest Counter running by the clock, so the overlay, the OBS page and the notifications keep working. To quit, right-click the icon by the clock and choose Quit.
• Today's line gives your average per match for the day.
• The new Settings button at the top right gathers the end-of-match notification and the options above.
• Less work while a match is in progress: a replay still being written is no longer opened every 30 seconds, and replays are read at low priority.

Install

Chest Counter 2.3.1

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.x, Chest Counter updates itself.

What's new

• Each match now shows a full total: the chests you opened plus the ones you broke, estimated. This applies to Last match, today, your best match, the match list and the end-of-match notification. The detail line still shows both parts, for example "27 opened and about 6 broken unopened".
• Under the big number: your average per match, over all your matches.
• The Estimated line ends with the average of broken chests per match.

Chest Counter 2.3.0

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.x, Chest Counter updates itself.

A more accurate count

• A chest you opened, left and saw again later was often counted a second time. It now counts once. On 99 test matches, the old count was about 25 % too high.
• Chests that were missed are now read: some chests placed on the map, and chest types added by game updates.
• After the update, your replays still on the PC are read again once. Matches counted by an older version whose replay is gone move to Matches without a replay and are estimated. A message shows the numbers before and after, once.

So Read from replays goes down after this update. That is expected.

What's new

• Last match under the total: the chests of your latest match, when it ended, today's chests and your best match.
• See all matches lists every counted match with its chests by type.
• A Windows notification at the end of each match, which you can turn off in the match list.
• A match cut short by a crash is shown apart instead of staying "in progress".
• Your results are backed up and restored if the file is damaged or deleted.

Chest Counter 2.2.2

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.x, Chest Counter updates itself.

Fixes

• After updating from 2.0 or 2.1, the taskbar and shortcuts could keep showing the old icon. Installing or updating now asks Windows to refresh its icons.

Chest Counter 2.2.1

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.x, Chest Counter updates itself.

Fixes

• The window no longer fails to open while an older Chest Counter (1.x) is still running. The error wrongly asked to install Microsoft Edge WebView2.
• When the window cannot open for another reason, the message now asks to close other Chest Counter windows, and the details are written to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ChestCounter\display.errors.log.
• Installing or updating closes a running 1.x before removing it, so it no longer stays behind.

Chest Counter 2.2.0

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.0 or 2.1, Chest Counter updates itself.

What's new

• A new look in gold and amber: a compass medallion with a faceted gem next to your total, warm amber in light mode and deep umber in dark mode.
• A new icon: a faceted gem in a gold bezel.
• When a new match is counted, the compass swings once. Nothing else moves while you play.

Chest Counter 2.1.0

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit). If you already have 2.0, Chest Counter updates itself.

What's new

• Matches without a replay are now estimated from your first 20 counted matches instead of your overall average. Those matches are almost always your oldest ones, and most players open more chests per match as the season goes on, so the old estimate came out too high. The Estimated line says which matches the estimate is based on.
• Installing or updating to 2.1 removes an old 1.x version ("Compteur de coffres") if one is installed. Your counted matches are kept.

Chest Counter 2.0.0

First public release of Chest Counter: a free Windows app that counts the chests you open in Fortnite, match by match, from the replay files already on your PC.

Download the installer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit)

What's new

• New window: the estimated total first, then what was read from your replays and what is estimated, each on its own line. Light and dark mode follow Windows.
• French and English, picked from your Windows language.
• New installer: one click, no administrator rights, Start menu and desktop shortcuts.
• Automatic updates: new versions download in the background and apply the next time you open the app, or right away with Restart.
• If Fortnite has not saved any replay yet, the app now says how to turn replays on.

Install

Run Palawi.ChestCounter-win-Setup.exe. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning: click More info, then Run anyway.

Then turn on replay recording in the Fortnite settings, play, and leave Chest Counter open. Matches are counted when they end.

Upgrading from 1.x

Versions 1.x used a different installer and do not update to 2.0. Uninstall "Compteur de coffres" from Settings > Apps, then run the new installer. Your counted matches are kept.
